Answer:

Your answer would be 60.

Explanation:

Because if the last digit in the number is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 you have to round up. But, if the last digit in the number is 1, 2, 3, or 4 you have to round down.

For example, What is 87 rounded to the nearest 10?

See the ten's place? it's 7. Which we round up to 90.

Another example.. What is 74 rounded to the nearest 10?

4 is in the ten's place, so what do we do? We round down to 70. Here I'll give you a good tip for you to remember..any number above 5 you round up..anything below 5 you round down. Got it?

Same thing with 62, the 2 is lower than 5..so we round down to 60.

The answer is 60

Glad to help ya!! :)
